This thread has been particularly useful to me as I'm learning to weld as well (for both marine and automotive stuff). I've employed a marine engineer to engineer an aluminium boat I've drawn up a concept design for and it sounds like I'll have to get someone else to do the hard welding work (which is annoying because it'll put the cost of my project through the roof).
I have to ask, however, (if there are any Aussies about) are the brands listed above availiable in australia. I'm looking for a welder that prefferably does NOT use phase 3 power. Fair enough I should be looking at TIG welding which should make this irrelevant, but I need to start somewhere.
